THE BRIDE OF THE LORD – ANGLICAN DEVOTIONAL
READ: Psalm 45:10-17 (NKJV)
- Listen, O daughter, Consider and incline your ear; Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
- So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He [is] your Lord, worship Him.
- And the daughter of Tyre [will come] with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
- The royal daughter [is] all glorious within [the palace;] Her clothing [is] woven with gold.
- She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors; The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
- With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King’s palace.
- Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
- I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
THE MESSAGE:
Our text today depicts a royal wedding which can be likened to the marriage of Christ to His bride, the Church. The bride is advised to forget her people, her father’s house and to obey and worship the King (her husband), for he is her Lord. The rich and noble will bring presents to her, and seek her favour. Her husband will admire her beauty and rich attire, when her virgin companions lead her to his palace with joy and gladness (verses 11-16). In Ephesians 5: 32, Paul helps us to look deeply at the covenant that undergirds Christian marriage – the vow to love each other for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
Jesus the King loves the Church; He does this because the Church is His beautiful bride, bought with His precious blood. The Church is to be subject to Christ as a wife is to her husband (Ephesians 5: 24). Christians must reverence Christ, love, honour and obey Him. We have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness into that of Light under King Jesus. Let us live worthy of our calling.
